Re: Maximum Score
 

how many balls must a goal hold down
before they call you The Man!
?

rough estimate is the stationary goal will hold around 23 small balls, leaving room to be capped

however, when the goal is almost full, it will be difficult to toss more into it

anyone place any wagers yet? Im willing to bet no team will ever get 26 balls in the stationary goal - capped or otherwise

I believe the max score in this game will not be acheived.

Re: Maximum Score
 

you do not need to fit 26 balls into a goal to obtain the highest possible score. However, I also believe that the highest score will not be achieved.

Re: Maximum Score
 

That's what I got:

Highest WINNING score is 380/375.
One team having 24 purple balls, 2 small yellow balls, and 1 large ball. (assuming all could fit in one goal, otherwise divide up with a large ball on the 2nd goal as well.) AND both bots hanging.
The other team having (goal 1) 23 purple, 2 small yellow, 1 large;(goal 2)one purple; AND again, both robots hanging.

Highest TYING score: 380/380
BOTH teams having 24 purple balls, 2 small yellow balls, and 1 large ball. AND both bots hanging.

Highest Possible: (assuming goals can hold 26 balls ea. + 1 large) : 660

Re: Maximum Score
 

The higest score is limited by time, not by the available balls.

If one team from each alliance can remove balls from the goal and feed it to the human player, who then rescores that ball, it gives the other team 10 points, or 20 points if you do it with the 10point ball. If both alliances do this for the length of the match, the score is only limited by the amount of time you spend doing it.

Hows that for a mindbender.

Re: Maximum Score
 

Well if you start counting additional points from green flag penalties (credit for points of balls your opponent purposely blocks) then you cant really put a finite number on it.
The human player could just keep on getting the balls, throwing them, having them blocked, retrieving them, throwing them again, and getting them blocked, for the whole match.
It would rely on how many times they could re-collect the purple balls and throw them in 2 minutes. And there is no way of predicting how much that would be

sorry for the semi- "double" post
great minds think alike right?

Re: Maximum Score
 

I had already mentioned earlier in the post that you had to assume two things to attain the highest point value:
1) No robot de-scored any balls (which is against the rules)
2) No robot goaltends (which is also against the rules)

Re: Maximum Score
 

had anyone figured out how many balls can fit into the stationary and mobile goals yet?

Re: Maximum Score
 

hey thanks, that really helps to know :D
